Identity + routing for payments · non-custodial

Money finally has
an address.

Pay a @name — not a 0x-string or a 10-digit account. Settla finds them, discloses how to pay them, and picks the route that delivers the most value: crypto from your own wallet, or naira / cedi / CFA and airtime through a licensed partner.

The One Rule: Settla Network never moves, holds, or converts your money. Ever.

Capabilities

One address. Every way to get paid.

🔎

Pay a name, not a string

Resolve @amina, a phone, an email, or a merchant handle to the right recipient — with privacy-aware, minimal disclosure. No more pasting 0x-addresses or 10-digit accounts.

🛤️

Every rail, one address

One handle routes to crypto wallets (Polygon/Base/Ethereum) and West African rails — NIP, GhIPSS GIP, Wave, Orange Money, mobile money — and billers. Settla Network picks the best one.

🧭

The best landed value

Cross-currency? The fattest cost is the FX spread, not the fee. Settla Network ranks by what actually LANDS in the recipient's currency — best-execution routing for money.

📱

Bills, airtime & more

Recharge phones, pay electricity / cable / internet, and (gated) fund betting wallets across Nigeria & Ghana — the same name-to-hand-off, powered by a licensed VAS aggregator.

🔐

Non-custodial by design

Your wallet signs and broadcasts crypto. Fiat, FX, and bills hand off to licensed partners. The app never holds a key, never holds funds, never moves fiat itself.

🕸️

The network is the moat

Every payment quietly grows the Settla Network identity graph underneath. Come for the tool — pay anyone, anywhere — stay for the network that makes it smarter over time.

Best-execution routing

The rate is the product.

In a cross-currency payment, the FX spread dwarfs the network fee. Most apps quote you the fee and hide the spread. Settla Network ranks routes by the landed amount — so the recipient gets the most, every time. Settla Network only quotes; a licensed ramp/off-ramp executes the conversion.

  • Ranks by landed value, not source-side fee
  • Shows mid rate, ramp spread, and effective rate up-front
  • Triangulates any corridor (e.g. NGN → GHS) via USD
  • USD-pegged stablecoins treated as USD
Send 100 USDC → NGN
Route A — “free” transfer
$0.00 fee · 6.0% spread
₦150,400
Route B — Settla Network pick
$0.30 fee · 2.5% spread
₦156,000
Same 100 USDC. Settla's pick lands ₦5,600 more — because it ranks by what arrives, not by the sticker fee.
How it works

Resolve → route → hand off. Never custody.

1

Resolve the name

Settla turns @amina into an identity and discloses how to pay her — only what she's allowed to share, and only what you're allowed to see.

2

Route by landed value

The engine scores every rail on fee, speed, reliability, and FX spread, and recommends the one that delivers the most in her currency.

3

Hand off to move it

Your wallet sends crypto; a licensed partner executes fiat, FX, or the bill. Settla Network never touches the money — it only found the way.

Ecosystem

Settla routes. Licensed partners move the money.

Settla Network never becomes a money transmitter. Every leg that touches funds hands off to a regulated specialist — so the product stays a resolution + routing layer, and the partners carry the licenses.

For developers

Add addressing to your app.

This payer is one example. Under it is Settla Network — an API that resolves identifiers and recommends routes. Two calls and your app can pay a name across any rail, at the best landed value. It never moves money, so you stay light on compliance.

See it live →
pay.ts
import { SettlaClient } from "@settla/sdk";

const settla = new SettlaClient({ apiKey });

// Who is @amina, and how do I pay her best?
const route = await settla.recommendRoute({
  to: "@amina",
  asset: "NGN",
  source_asset: "USDC",   // fund with crypto
  objective: "lowest_fee",
});

route.recommended_route.fx.landed_amount; // "156000"
// → hand off to your licensed partner. Settla
//   never moves the money.

Pay a name. On any rail. At the best rate.

Crypto from your wallet, naira / cedi / CFA and airtime through licensed partners — resolved to a name, routed by landed value.
